Phillip Glass

I was about 21 when I decided to figure out what avant-garde music sounded like. A friend and I grilled a visiting artist who seemed knowledgeable on the subject, and madly scribbled down the names he mentioned. Then we got radio shows so we could look up all the music. It was 1996, so that’s what you did.

It’s September. It’s time for some art. This week, AFC is going to give it to you Shark Week-style with a preview of the first fall art openings, and every day we’ll give you a new preview based on neighborhood. We’ve chosen what should be good, and what should be on your radar. Today’s post: everything in Chelsea you should know about in the month of September.
